Lukas Podolski could finalise his loan move away from Arsenal by Monday with Juventus chiefs set to fly to London to negotiate the transfer.

Podolski has been tracked by a host of clubs, including Juve and Turkish giants Galatasaray, in recent weeks with The Gunners willing to sell the forward this summer after recruiting Alexis Sanchez from Barcelona recently.

Podolski was left out of Arsenal’s Premier League 2-2 draw away to Everton on Saturday after Juventus opened talks with the north London outfit over a deal.

And it now seems that Podolski could be playing in Serie A this season after The Sunday Express claimed that Juve bosses were preparing to travel to London on Monday to finalise the loan move.

It is thought that Juve manager, Massimiliano Allegri, sees Podolski as the perfect player to fit into his system in Turin but wants to test the Germany World Cup winner first before recruiting the 29-year-old on a permanent basis.

Podolski joined The Gunners after leaving the club he supports, Cologne, in 2012 and made 27 appearances for the north London outfit in all competitions last season.
